About Ramona Hodges

In 1989, my husband, Ed, and I, realized a dream to build a cabin in Lake Tahoe. Ed taught science and Math at a Middle school for 38 years and I worked as an RN at a local hospital for 40 years. We have lived in San Jose for over 50 years & have 3 grown children and 4 grandchildren. We are a very close family and enjoy spending time together. Our family has had many memorable times together at the cabin; skiing, playing games, sharing meals, hiking, biking, swimming, and so much more.

Ramona Hodges purchased this Cabin in 1989

Why Ramona Hodges chose Chamberlands

We had always wanted a vacation home; a place to 'get-away' and find serenity amid the natural beauty of our earth. There is no place more beautiful than Lake Tahoe!!
So, one day, when the opportunity arose to buy property in the Chamberlands, a premier subdivision on the Westshore, we jumped at the chance to realize our dream. We worked with a local contractor to plan and build our vacation cabin and are grateful to realize our dream.

What makes this Cabin unique

We love our cabin for the peace, fun, warmth and beauty it provides. In the summer we enjoy walking in the Chamberlands, and to the beach. We love sitting on our deck, barbecuing, playing games and sharing time and love with our family and friends. We enjoy eating breakfast at the Firesign Cafe and dinner at the Sunnyside restaurant as well as other lakeside restaurants nearby and in Tahoe City. We like to drive to Virginia City and visit the historic sights. My husband likes to go to Cabelas on Highway 80, a 45 minute drive, and I like to gamble occasionally at the nearby Casinos. We never tire of visiting beautiful places such as Emerald Bay, Eagle Lake & nearby Erhman Mansion. Our family & friends also enjoy everything the Lake has to offer; biking, hiking, boating, fishing, skiing, gambling, shopping and so on.. One of my favorite things to do is to make needlepoint, embroidered and crocheted art work for the cabin which, in my opinion, just adds to its charm. My husband likes to build things that make our life and our guests lives easier and more fun such as: a giant swing and horse shoe pit in the backyard and a covered firewood shed close to the cabin making it convenient to get wood for the fireplace in the winter. Our children love to ski and snowboard and appreciate the convenience of driving such a short distance to several ski resorts.

Ideal location a few miles south of Tahoe city. The cabin is spacious and has character. Ed and Ramona were great guests. A minor problem came up with a water heater and they did everything they could to fix it immediately.

Owner's Response:

We're very pleased that you "loved" your stay at our cabin. Your so right about the location! We took our 4 yr old granddaughter to the cabin last week and walked to the beach a couple of times. She loved it too! She spent her time looking for & collecting pretty rocks in the sand.

While there, I noticed several people sitting on the deck by the bar. Even though the summer beach season is over, the bar remains open and is very popular in the evening with visitors and the locals. We hope you will have the opportunity to return one day! And, thank you for the great review!

Very Nice

Cabin was located in a nice quiet area yet close to Tahoe City as well as Squaw Valley. We had plenty of room with a very nice upstairs area that was very comfortable for those times when we just wanted to hang out together. I highly recommend this cabin, especially for families.
